I replaced my Nokia E60 with the Nokia 6233 and as well as connecting with my car kit (which the E60 wouldnt) it is a far better phone to use, has better battery life and is smaller - check it out.:icon14:
No Symbian - no problems

Maybe, but 6233 is not Symbian (or another OS).
If your going to get a phone without symbian, you might as well get a sony ericsson.
Symbian is by far one of the best operating systems on phones, the software you can get is emence, Tomtom, i mean, come on.
Why get a Nokia without Symbian, other than that, they're basically the same, you might as well have got a Sony Ericsson K800i
The fact the 6233 doesnt have Symbian is the very reason it makes the great. It does everything a upmarket, adult, business mobile phone should. The fluidity and speed of navigation through the menu is a delight. Lets not forget that, unlike the E series Nokia phones, it paires seemlessly with my (and several colleagues) Bluetooth car kits.
Just imagine having a phone that doesnt require you to log into forums with 100's of issues relating to your chosen phone/platform.
Sony Ericsson over Nokia come on!
I have sat nav in the car, a BlackBerry 8700 (stunning!) for Exchange email etc, a lap top with 3G data card when needed (rarely) and the Nokia 6233 for voice and text.
Who wants to carry around big, often unreliable devices in the evening/weekends etc when all you need is to make/receive phone calls and text.

Everyone goes for something different. A lot of people dont have propblems and would rather just carry one device...
I hated 6233, I went the exact opposite way and traded it in for my E61. On the 6233 the build quality was really bad IMHO, The keys felt flakey and the whole phone was all plastic. :icon13:
Hey brikeh, I cant believe your talking about the same phone! Mine (in black and silver with metal/chrome accents) is the opposite of everything you say - the keypad, menu navigation, screen quality, battery life etc are all superb. I am in the mobile phone industry and get to play with all kinds of phones, so before I buy one for myself I make sure its right. I even programmed the pop3 email application - which was a cinch!
The 6233 together with my BlackBerry 8700 BES is all I ever need, and no glitches, no forums needed, silky smooth lag free menu navigation AND both pair/connect seemlesly with all Bluetooth car kits we've tried (unlike Symbian phones).
Maybe you had a dodgy one...
